First picture posting :) Be nice please.

One of my favorites from our trip to letchworth.

Still learning some PP techniques, I didnt do a whole lot to this one. What could I do to this to make it look better, as far as PP.

Let me know what you guys think and lets see the edits.

As for PP--this photo will benefit from more contrast, but given the high contrast content, you'll lose either the highlight detail or shadow detail, if you apply a global adjustment. If you wish to keep detail throughout the image, you could apply two or more adjustments using masks. Nice fall colors and hair to match!

Looks like you need a tripod and a higher f/stop. I'd say f/8-11 and drag the shutter a bit.. would smooth out the falls and give a really sweet effect.

On a side note- you go to RIT?

I think the water is still pretty neat on its own but the composition is a little awkward. The models body is sort of half laying in the photo but you think she is standing and it just doesn't look comfortable or natural. I think if she was standing more straight up with an over the shoulder look it might have been more of what you were going for?

Would be a very nice picture, if it was just of the water fall.

Nice, think would have been better to see her face.
